Lyrics

The Violence of Your Heart
© January, 2011 David Nyro

Verse 1: Stop!
Think what you're doing
Wait!
Take a moment to reflect
Stop!
we're on the road to ruin
In your eyes
I see storm clouds brewin
I know I should be running away
yet still I stay, Still I stay.
Verse 2:
Words
can be an awful weapon
In the hands
of a practiced pro
Cuts that slice,
slice me open Seems
I spend my days and nights
in a state of confusion
I don't want to believe that my baby is bad
but he is . . . but he is
O o o o o o o o
Chorus: The Violence of your heart
has left me shaken
The Violence of your heart took
me by surprise
The Violence of your heart
has brought me low. . .
Useless tears fill my eyes
Verse 3:
Stop!
Think what you
re doing.
Wait!
It doesn't have to end this way.
Please, if there's any love left for us
Is there anything that I can say . . .
to turn the tide?
I know we're past the point of no return
When will I learn? When will I learn?
Chorus:
O o o o o o o
The Violence of your heart
took a painful toll -
The Violence of your heart
has left me broken
The Silence of your heart
has crushed my soul.
Useless tears fill my eyes
Useless tears cloud my eyes.
Bridge:
I always tried...tried to see
your soft side, baby.
The one you tried - Tried
so hard to hide
Cause I know, you too have cried.
Cause I know, you
too have cried.

Chorus:
The Violence of
your heart has left its mark
The Violence of your heart,
has been such a blow
The Silence of your heart,
left me in the dark
The Violence of your heart,
the Violence of your heart,
the Violence of your heart -
has brought me low.
Useless tears fill my eyes
Useless tears cloud my eyes
Useless years, rolling by
Useless tears cloud my eyes
Useless tears cloud my eyes
